aluminum?

ya gotta zinc em first.. scuff em up, couple piss coats of zinc chromate, paint of your choice...

Hmm...They're the stock alloys on my Cavalier gas beater...idk if they're aluminum?

Can i find this zinc chromate at any auto parts store?

Just sand, spray the zinc, then spray the paint or do i have to sand between layers. [yes paint n00b]

once you zinc em, just wait a minute and paint right over it...

eh, hit or miss, some carry it, some don't.. an autobody place will have it or marine place...
